this is a well disguised bad beat story...

just playing at gutshot in the small games when i noticed a £1/2 pl omaha game going, there was a lot of money flying around and despite not being able to afford to be on that table i couldnt resist the temptation of the 'value'.

I sat with £300, which is all the cash i had available to me, i played tight, and got up to £550.

then this happened.

Andy Black is raising and re raising every pot, basically £30 to play every hand...i raise pot with  Ad 9d Aspades 9c he calls. pot around £90

he bets the pot into me on a  Td 5d 2h flop, i fire the pot back at andy and he puts me all in for not much more to call. so on the flop we have £550 each in and im literally soiling myself. i think ive got the best hand, but i have the flush draw to boot so all is not lost £1100. mmmmmmmm


Andy to my relief flips over  Jd Jc 8d 8h.

turn  7h

river  Jc


absolutly gutted. tarnished the fact i had a great result on laddies and im kinda gutted to say the least. never play out of your bankroll guys, it really hurts...

You call that a bad beat. pfft

I was playing at the Cincinatti club in the £1 / £1 NLH game, I initially bought in for £20 and managed to work it up to £970 ot there abouts.

My last hand of the evening after 9 hours of hard work, I get  Aspades Ks A well known fish bets in to me, I call and we have about £90 in the middle, I shoule let you know he has me covered by about £30.

The flop comes  Qs Js Th

At this point I have a party going on in my head, its taking everythin i have not to do the hula and tell hime hes a mug, so I casually check  as one does with the NUTS on occassion.

He pushed all in for close to £1K Well naturally i beat him to the middle.

He flips over his  3d  3s and says, " i was bluffing at it "

I flip my  Aspades Ks and say " i was'nt"

Turn card  3c

River  3h

and thats the worst bad beat i ever had.

I was on tilt for a month after it.

That one puts hairs on yer chest!

when was this, and who against billy

I have a bad habit of doing this.  Not at as high a limits as you were playing( I play in $ ).  Last night, I undid all my good work for the last two and a half months in about 40 minutes playing a NL cash game on pokerstars.  I lost most of my bankroll playing a game I wasn't good enough to play and not funded to play.  I will have to move back down about four limits now and start again. 

I had a stomach churning moment of sheer pain when I looked at the cashier bit on stars soon after.

Sark, I do not believe for one moment that you did anything so reckless, your far too nice

It's always the quiet ones.

lol.  I wish it was a dream that I could wake up from, but it is reality   :D.    Back to square one I am afraid.    I am going to try and build it up playing those $5 four man Heads-Up games. They are alot of fun, even though I am crap at Heads-Up. Time to learn I guess.

Wouldn't it be better to play at lower levels in the game you originally built your bankroll up on than a format you are "crap at"?

Maybe, but it takes time.  I can see how people play H-U well, I just can't do it yet.  I want to learn it. Mix between ring games and H-U will be the method.

Was that a dream Newmanseye?

Wasn't a bad beat. he had 10 oots on that river  ;hide;

 Billy I think you want to have a look at who the dealer was cos this story is very hard to believe and if it did happen i think you got ripped by some grade A cheats

Live poker is rigged.  ;tk;

Where? ;goodvevil;

All of it, big scam.

THis really did happen guys, It was late November of 2005, and it was a crushing beat, I was on tilt for ages ages afterwards.  The odds on it happening were huge, but alas it happened.  As for the dealers at Cincins they are all decent guys and I doubt they would be colluding with other players to take MY money, particularly at that time in the clubs infancy.

As for the doubting thomas's, This beat put all bad beats in to perspective for me, I no longer get too rattled when people hit the 5 outers on the river, its part of the game, i know I did nothing wrong in my play and the best you can do is get your money in with the Nuts and pray!!

so who as this mystery player who bet 1000£

If you want to know, maybe better to ask Billy in person or by pm rather than on the forum. Billy might be more inclined to answer.

After all, mystery player's play has been unequivocally bashed and it would be a little insensitive to publicly name them.
(That and they might shoot him)

If you must Know whos it is, I'll tell you on thursday when I'm in the club. Makes no odds to me, however I am not going to publicly name the bloke, he makes the same mistakes and I dont want that to change.

As for the £1000, He managed to win some big pots through more stupidity and luck than skill so he was stacked. To be honest Andrew I'm no fussed if you believe me or not, I know it happened, I had to come to terms with the beat and I had to endure the tilt from suffering the beat, There is no honour is saying I LOST close to a grand on 1 hand after hours of hard graft EARNING it in the first place. Where the sensible play would be to laydown the  Aspades Ks preflop and walk out the door.

 im not saying it didnt happen
 
 im simply saying

 if i was playing and this guy bet 1000 quid into a 90 quid pot with  3d  3s on a board of   Th  Js  Qs

 then went on to hit perfect perfect  3c  3h to take me for 1000 quid i would be asking a few questions

 i would take a bit of pesuading to be convinced that it was simply a bad beat

I would move in as his neighbour and then follow him to every poker game he ever went too....

I know what you are saying, Its a crushing beat, and it was hard to take at the time, I am more than positive that there was no collusion involved, I trust the dealer who was on the table that night, He deals bigger games than the one i was in and he knows he would have got a good tim off me if i had walked away with my winnings.

live poker was rigged the day i went to sheffield in a cash game and lost £1200  when i had AA and floped  A44,    any guesses what our dodgy dealing friend had?

J10?

haha.

That was a horrible beat with the AKspades , brought back a few memorys . Everytime I build my bankroll I ALWAYS jump stakes , I cant help myself ... I really cant resist ... Ill play for months on end 50c / $1 , then that one early morning ill do a rounders and  play $50 $100 limit or a 15 30 NL - and obviously not play as I would In 50 / 1 and Ill lose :dd:

Then be back at Square 1.

wow newman


thats the best (worst) bad beat story i think i have ever heard

but hey only cost you 20 quid and not a grand

every cloud....and...allll........


I'll get me jacket
